Appendices 4. Article Publishing Fees To enable open access to all articles, Frontiers has adopted the author-pay model whereby authors or research sponsors cover the costs associated with the processing and publication of their articles. Frontiers will strive to keep costs as low as possible to ensure that publication costs do not become an obstacle to publishing. 4.1 Article Publishing Fees An article publishing fee of €2,000 is the full charge to cover the costs associated with editing, publishing, archiving, and evaluation of the article, as well as maintaining the most advanced website in online publishing, covering the costs of climb-tiering and rejected articles, and supporting the Frontiers academic environment. There are several subsidies and discounts available. Please refer to the table below for complete information on Frontiers fees (all fees are in Euros - €).

Appendices 4.2 Frontiers Publishing Grant and Waivers Authors who demonstrate their inability to bear the publication costs may apply to the Frontiers Research Foundation for a Frontiers publishing grant, which may cover all or part of the article publishing fees. This grant will be considered if the article is accepted for publication. The grant may allow for a full waiver or a partial waiver depending on the financial capability of the corresponding author of the paper. Up to 100% waiver if the corresponding author is from a “low income” country (2008 GNI per capita less than USD 975) as defined by the World Bank Country Classification table (see this reference or download the country classification table from the website). Up to 50% waiver if the corresponding author is from a “lower middle income” country(2008 GNI per capita between USD 976 and USD 3,855) as defined by the World Bank Country Classification table (see this reference or download the country classification table). Waivers may also be granted if the corresponding author can demonstrate a genuine inability to pay. The Authors should provide the name of the grant/institution and a short explanatory paragraph why the publishing fees cannot be afforded. 4.3 What do the Fees Cover?
